The only interesting wine in a restaurant's wine list, it came out with a really pale gold colour and few bubbles. Already evolved both on the nose and palate and developing very well with time. A classic vintage BdB performing surprising well.

With K, Miranda, Garith, Mary, Rich, Gail and Bryan at a going away for R, G, and B. Golden straw color. Fine bead. Creamy, chalky nose. Rich. Good flavor. Chalky. Not as opulent as last tasting, but good. 5-11-15-17: 88/100.

On New Year's Eve with K at home (2 nights after my daughter Miranda's birth). Light straw color. Fine bead. Very complex nose; nutty, chalky. Reminds me of the '82 Krug. Very nice on the palate. Complex, with a yeasty finish. Very fine. 5-11-16-7: 89/100.

With MPL at Singer & Foy. Wonderful pale color and exceptional aroma. Incredibly lovely. On the palate, very nice, slightly chalky. Great! 5-12-17-9: 93/100.
